(CNN) – A prominent conservative is issuing an ultimatum, essentially telling the candidate he supports to do better in the polls – or lose his support.
Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com, backs Assemblyman Chuck DeVore in the California Republican senate primary. DeVore is locked in a battle with former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and former Rep. Tom Campbell for the right to face Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in November.
Speaking Tuesday with CNN Chief National Correspondent John King, Erickson – a CNN contributor - said he won't support DeVore much longer if the candidate does not improve his political standing.
"Look, if Chuck DeVore hasn't gone up in the polls within two weeks significantly, I'll be with Carly Fiorina because Tom Campbell is that bad," Erickson said.

UGH, Jim. Lousy word. You think he talked her into endorsing Fiorina?
Maybe that’s why she likes Juanny McAmnesty so much. He just had a add filmed on the border telling Arizonans to ‘get the darn fence done’. Amazing how he spent a career arguing with House conservatives about that very fence.
Hunter
Read her book to learn why she likes him.
I saw his “tough guy” ad. I laughed. He used “dang or danged” fence.
Why not say “damn fence”?
I couldn’t get through her book. But I have it. I may revisit it, especially if she wins the darn nomination. LOL
All right. Fair enough.
Why curse the fence before it's done?
Someone is offering him money. Your principles don’t change because of a poll.
I always feel bad whn you show up. You are always nice and you are a big Palin fan, who isn’t trying to kneecap DeMint or Hunter or anyone else. So then you catch me arguing heatedly with the kneecappers and I feel bad. LOL!
I didn’t mean it to curse the fence. Only to show McCain as a tough guy, which he’s attempting to play in his ad.
SEAN HANNITY, HOST: The left in America is seething over a new to combat illegal immigration in Arizona even encouraging protests that have resulted in vandalism, violence and arrest.
Now the measure signed Friday by Governor Jan Brewer is intended to help combat the more than 460,000 illegals living in Arizona. Now meanwhile, pro-illegal immigration rallies have consumed the streets of Phoenix in recent days fueled by headlines around from the country that have called the bill shameful, even likening it apartheid.
But as The Washington Examiner’s Byron York points out, opponents of the legislation probably forgot to read the bill in the first place, noting, quote, “It is the criticism of the law that is over the top, not the law itself.”
Now if protesters actually sat down to read the law they would find that racial profiling is explicitly prohibited. In fact, proof of citizenship can only be requested by the authorities during, quote, “lawful contact” by police. meaning the individual is already suspected of breaking the law. It’s all right there in the legislation.
But the left, well, they don’t want you to know that.
And joining me now with reaction is former Alaskan governor and Fox News contributor Sarah Palin.
Governor, your reaction first of all to the law and the reaction by the left?
SARAH PALIN, FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR: Well, thankfully, Byron York — he hit the nail on the head in summarizing what this law really is about. There is no ability or opportunity in there for the racial profiling.
And shame on the lame stream media again for turning this into something that it is not. Governor Jan Brewer did what she had to do as the CEO of that state. To help protect the citizens of her state she had to do what the federal government has refused to do, and that is help secure the borders.
I think it’s shameful, too, that the Obama administration has allowed, too, this to become more of a racial issue by perpetuating this myth that racial profiling is a part of this law.

No, I was joking...obviously not very well!
Hunter's seriously thinking about another run in '12 ??
And Ford was the biggest RINO in the history of the breed.
David Packard is a wingnut environmentalist.
He hasn’t ruled it out. And I asked him directly.
And the movement is well within the margin of error, which I estimate to be about 5 percent with such small sample sizes.

Well, until he officially rules it in, got anyone else?
LOL. We’s friends, pissant. Thank you for saying that and you’re right. I don’t believe in tearing down good conservatives because I believe in competition and we don’t know who will be our nominee. I like them all and favor Sarah Palin above all. She will need an excellent vice president and a stellar cabinet. *wink*
It’s getting late...lol. I “could” log-out a little early and let you get back to arguing.
:)
No!
Anybody but Campbell
OH. LOL.
I’m sorry, I missed it. DUH on me.
